About my Torso

A massive volcano erupts violently, sending black smoke and debris skyward. "IT ERUPTED...!!!" reads one caption. Nearby, a gas-masked figure reacts in shock: "WHOA HHHHHH!!!" The ground shudders as jagged ice formations crack and shift. "...MAKES ME FEEL LIKE I'M BEING GLARED AT BY AKAINU AND AOKIJI..." someone mutters while another voice adds, "VISITING THIS ISLAND..." A character in a gas mask shivers: "*SHUDDER*!! AHHHHHHH... I DON'T LIKE IT ONE BIT...!!" The scene shifts to a ship firing its cannons at the erupting landscape. "FIRE!" a voice commands as explosions rock the ice and rock.

The ship sails through a narrow river between towering ice walls. "THERE REALLY WAS A RIVER ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THAT GIANT MASS OF ICE!!" a gas-masked sailor exclaims. Another asks, "HOW DID YOU KNOW THERE'D BE A RIVER THERE, SMOKE-YANI!" Dialogue continues among the masked crew: "YOU'RE NOT ACTUALLY TRYING TO SAY..." "THE ISSUE IS WHETHER THAT MASS OF ICE SEALING OFF THE ENTRANCE IS NATURAL..." "BUT THE ISSUE ISN'T WHY THERE WAS A RIVER HERE." "YOU'D HAVE SEEN IT TOO IF YOU PAID A LITTLE MORE ATTENTION TO THE CURRENTS." One sailor wonders, "...OR PLACED THERE ON PURPOSE." Another concludes, "...YOU THINK SOMEONE MIGHT BE LIVING ON THIS GAS-COVERED ISLANDI! THAT'S CRAZY... YOU'D HAVE TO WEAR A MASK DAY IN, DAY OUT!!" The ship presses forward amid splashing water and floating ice.

The crew debates their next move. "IF YOU HAVE TIME TO STAND AROUND LAUGHING, THEN MAKE YOURSELVES BUSY BREAKING THROUGH THE NEXT WALL OF ICE," one orders. Laughter erupts: "AHAH AHAH! TRUE, THAT!!" "A DEN-DEN MUSHI WOULDN'T HEARD WRONG, TASHIGI-CHAN! I MEAN, THINK ABOUT IT!" "THE VOICE WE INTERCEPTED SAID THE NAME OF THIS ISLAND, THAT MUCH IS CERTAIN." Suddenly a massive ice floe drifts toward them. "ANOTHER WALL OF ICE IS FLOATING RIGHT THIS WAY!!!" someone shouts. The ship maneuvers desperately as the ice collides. "AGHHHH!! THE HELL IS THISI!" a marine cries. "EVEN A MARINE BATTLESHIP WILL SINK IF THAT THING COMES CRASHING INTO IT!!!" another warns. "FIRE ALL CANNONS!!" the order rings out as the vessel rams the ice with a loud crash.

Luffy's team stares across the massive lake splitting Punk Hazard. One side rages with a fierce blizzard while the other burns under intense heat, marked clearly on a small map. "THE WIND IS CRAZY STRONG!!" someone shouts as snow swirls violently. "LOOK OVER ON THE OTHER SIDE!! IT'S A PROPER BLIZZARD!!!" The group debates crossing. "HOW ARE WE MEANT TO CROSS THIS GREAT LAKE, ANYWAYI! HALF OF IT'S ON FIRE, AND THE OTHER HALF'S COVERED IN HUGE BLOCKS OF ICE!!" Robin notes the temperature difference creates powerful air currents. Franky suggests swimming, but Usopp snaps, "LIKE HELL WE DO!!" Luffy grins and declares they must reach the other side no matter what. "YOU'D BETTER NOT BE THINKING WE SHOULD FERRY YOU ON OUR BACKS!!" Robin adds that she and Luffy cannot swim, so they need another way.

Usopp unleashes his plant-based attacks in rapid succession. "FAN-GRASS!!" and "BOATY BANANA!!" burst from the ground as he yells "HISSATSU: MIDORI-BOSHI!!" A massive banana-shaped vessel forms and launches into the water with a huge "どーん!!" splash. Luffy and the others tumble aboard as the boat surges forward. "HUH... NOT BAD GOING, USOPP!" "WHOAAA!! IT MADE A BOAT!!" Usopp explains his time in the Boin Archipelago, where he studied countless dangerous plants and seeds. "THE FURTHER I VENTURED INTO THE DEPTHS OF THE MOST DANGEROUS ISLANDS... THE MORE USEFUL THE PLANTS I MANAGED TO FIND!" Robin smiles and suggests using the fan-grass as oars. "HURRY UP, USOPP, WE'RE LEAVING!!"

Luffy stands at the prow, laughing wildly while steering the plant boat with giant fan paddles. "TO THE LAND OF SNOW CONES!!! AND OFF WE GO!!" The water boils around them from the extreme temperature clash. Robin, Franky, and Usopp row desperately as the wind howls. "YOU COULD TRY ROWING!!" Suddenly a voice yells "THROW!!" and "HOLD IT, YOU RUFFIANS!!!" A centaur-like figure appears on the shore. The boat rocks violently in the headwind. "PANT... PANT" "STEP" "THE WIND IS SO STRONG!! AND IT'S A HEADWIND, TO BOOT!!" A spiky-haired man on the boat spots the centaur and shouts, "IT'S THAT CENTAUR FROM BEFORE!!" A huge rock looms ahead. "A GREAT BIG ROCK!! THAT'S DANGEROUS!!!" The group screams as they hurtle toward impact: "AHH HHHH H!!"

Luffy yells at the spiky-haired man, "YOU REALLY NEED TO STOP TRYING TO RECRUIT EVERY FREAKISH CREATURE YOU MEET!!!" The man retorts, "DON'T TELL ME YOU WERE RECRUITING AGAIN!!!" Luffy turns with a shocked face, "HE!! HAVE YOU DECIDED YOU WANT TO JOIN MY CREW AFTER ALLI!!" A mysterious horn sound echoes across the water: "ポォォォ~ ポォォォ~" with a question mark. A massive, armored figure with a beard peers through a scope and reacts in alarm. "BOSS"...I!" he gasps. The large figure shouts into a den-den mushi, "BOOOSS!!! THE INTRUDERS ARE HEADED YOUR WAY!!! TAKE THEM OUT FOR ME!!" Below deck, a subordinate sweats and reports, "IT'S COLD... SO COLD... IS THAT YOU, BOSS...I!"

A small boat battles rough seas toward a distant shore as the crew scans ahead. "ON THE OPPOSITE SHORE..." one calls out. "I CAN SEE SOMETHING UP AHEAD..." another replies. A close-up shows a stern-faced marine woman with goggles on her head. The boat reaches the opposite shore where dark silhouettes stand amid swirling snow and bubbles. "IS THAT......THEIR 'BOSS'...I!" someone exclaims. In the next panels a marine notes, "I SEE ONE OF THEM WIELDS A KATANA." Another adds, "HE MUST BE THE 'SAMURAI' WHO ATTACKED OUR COMRADES..." The group realizes, "THEN... DOES THAT MEAN THE DISTRESS SIGNAL WE HEARD WAS MEANT FOR THIS GUY...I! IF IT WAS, THEY'VE GOT SOME NERVE ATTACKING US AFTER WE CAME TO HELP!!!"

Inside the former research institute on Punk Hazard's ice side, Nami's team races through the Biscuit Room. "IF YOU WANT TO ESCAPE, RUN AS FAST AS YOU CAN!!" someone shouts as children flee in panic. Chopper yells, "THIS WAY, CHILDREE EEN!!" while laughing wildly, "HOYA HHH! HIYA HHHH HH!" Nami's group presses forward amid the chaos. "SANJI ENTRUSTED ME WITH PROTECTING YOU ALL!! HWAYAH HHHHHHHH!!" Chopper cries. Nami smiles, "YOU'RE CERTAINLY FULL OF ENERGY, CHOPPER!" A massive explosion rocks the room as a huge creature bursts through, "WEAPONS LEFT!!!" labeled near the Biscuit Room entrance.

A massive blast sends everyone flying, "WHOAAAAAAAAAA!!" The armored centaur-like figure with a star-patterned body crashes through debris. "THAT MAN'S WHOLE BODY IS COVERED IN WEAPONRY! HE MUST BE THE ONE WHO BROKE DOWN THE DOOR!!" a marine shouts. The gas-masked soldier laughs maniacally, "AHAHAHAHAHA HA!! SULUUUU PEEEEER!!!" Another warns, "THEN WHY DON'T YOU TAKE OFF YOUR MASKS......AND JOIN IN THE GASSY FUN, EHI!" while ordering, "SWITCH TO POISON GAS GRENADES!! THE CHILDREN AREN'T HERE ANY MORE!! IT'S TIME TO GAS THE LOT OF 'EM!!!"

The gas attack erupts in chaos, "GUAAAAAHHHHHHH!!" Marines scream as gas fills the air. "DON'T FIRE THE GAS GRENADES!!!" one yells desperately. "TANKS AND MASKS ARE OUT OF ACTION!!" another warns. A curly-haired fighter laughs, "HAH! HAH! HAH!!" while others react in shock: "WHAT ARE THESE PEOPLE... SHEEPI!" and "HUHI!" The gas-masked soldiers panic, "NGH..." and "UNN... GHHHH HH...!!!" One demands, "SERIOUSLY, WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUTI WHO IS THIS PERSON...I! HE IS NOT SO EASILY DEFEATED...!!! WHAT ARE YOU PLAYING AT...I"

On the frozen ice side of Punk Hazard, outside the former research institute of Dr. Vegapunk, Brook's team stares in shock at a bizarre figure. "AHHHH!! HOLD ON!! WHAT IS THISI! WHAT HAPPENED TO YOUR HEAD AND LEGSI! WHAT'S GOING ON!!" "WHO IN THE WORLD ARE YOUI!!" A map labels the area with compass directions and "COOL HOT" zones. Below, Brook, wearing a crown-like hat over his afro and a feathered collar, clashes swords with a man in a striped outfit and spotted pants. Brook swings his blade while shouting, "I ONLY CAME ONTO THE ISLAND TO MAKE A SNOWMAN OR TWO WHILE I WAIT!!" The striped man recoils, yelling, "ARE YOU A GHOSTI! IN BROAD DAYLIGHTI!!" and "THIS IS QUITE TERRIFYING!! COULD YOU PLEASE SAY SOMETHINGI!!!" Impact lines and motion effects fill the snowy battlefield.

The duel intensifies as Brook and the striped swordsman trade rapid strikes. Brook's sword clashes violently, sending the striped man flying backward with a heavy "STOMP" and explosive impact. "SCARY!! TOO STRONG, AND TOO SCARY!!" The striped man is hurled through the air amid stars and shockwaves. In a dramatic close-up, Brook unleashes a named technique with his blade glowing: "AUBADE: COUP DROIT!!" The striped man grits his teeth in agony, crying out "NNNNGHHHHH!!" as the force of the attack overwhelms him. Motion lines and debris emphasize the speed and power of each exchange.

Brook presses the attack with a powerful overhead swing, the striped swordsman blocking desperately as "SWISH" and "ゴゴゴ!!" effects erupt. The striped man counters with crossed blades, sparks flying on "KA-CHINK!!" Brook pleads while spinning, "I WOULD REALLY QUITE LIKE YOU TO STOP!!!" The striped man shouts in panic, "THIS IS TOO SCARY, AND TOO CREEPY!!" and "AHHHH!! WE USES TWO SWORDS!!" Brook, skull face visible, demands, "WHY ARE YOU EVEN ATTACKING ME!!" The striped man retorts, "...OH, FOR HEAVEN'S SAKE!!" as their swords lock again amid swirling snow and impact bursts.

Elsewhere at Punk Hazard's research laboratory, a Marine ship labeled "G-5" and "MARINE" approaches through icy waters, its cannons firing. Narration notes, "...IT SEEMS TO BE OBLITERATING THE ICE WALLS WITH ITS CANNONS, AND PROCEEDING SLOWLY BUT SURELY INLAND...!!" Inside the facility, a figure wonders, "OF ALL THE MEN TO STUMBLE UPON THIS PLACE, WHY DID IT HAVE TO BE HIM...I" and orders, "CONCEAL ALL THE SHIPS AT THE MAIN ENTRANCE...!!!" Another voice states, "EVENTUALLY, THEY WILL REACH THIS FACILITY!!" and "THE SHIP IS CAPTAINED BY VICE-ADMIRAL SMOKER OF G-5!" Near a labeled "PH-006" structure, hidden figures discuss, "YOU MEAN..." "MAKE SURE YOU AREN'T SEEN. I WON'T BE ABLE TO LEAVE, EITHER." "NOBODY IS SUPPOSED TO BE IN THIS PLACE..." "HOW SHOULD WE PROCEED...I"

Snow blankets the rugged island facility as electrical sparks crackle across the structures. A voice wonders, "I CAN'T BELIEVE IT... THERE REALLY ISN'T ANY GAS TO BE SEEN..." Another asks, "WHERE DID ALL THE GAS BACK AT THE ENTRANCE COME FROM...I" From the water's edge someone calls out, "FROM SOMEBODY WHO'D RATHER WE DIDN'T HANG AROUND, I'LL WAGER. WHO THE HECK IS LIVING IN THIS PLACE!! HEY!! SHOW YOUR-SELVES!!!" Marines burst forward with weapons raised. One shouts, "WHOEVER'S IN THERE, YOU'RE ALL UNDER ARREST!! GET OUT HERE!!!" while another declares, "THIS ISLAND IS OFF LIMITS, YOU CRIMINALS!!" A cannon fires with a "BANG!" and the massive doors creak open amid "CREEEEEEEK!!" Someone inside notes, "AH... IT OPENED." The group decides, "DECIDED TO COME QUIETLY, EH!! GOOD CHOICE!! SURRENDER TO THE MARINES!!!" A figure warns, "WE DON'T HAVE TO STAND AROUND HERE PRESSING THE BUZZER ALL DAY!! NOBODY'S GOING TO ANSWER, THEY'RE TOO SCARED!!" while another suggests, "LET'S TAKE IT DOWN, SMOKER-SAN!! HEHEHE!!" and adds, "THIS DOOR WON'T HOLD UP FOR LONG IF WE HIT IT WITH THE CANNONS!!"

Trafalgar Law stands with arms crossed, sword resting on his shoulder, his long black coat marked by the Heart Pirates jolly roger. A large wanted poster beside him reads "WORLD GOVERNMENT PRIVATEER 'ROYAL SHICHIBUKAI' Trafalgar Law FORMER BOUNTY 440 000 000 BELI". He asks, "WHAT BUSINESS DO YOU HAVE... AT MY VILLAI" A voice replies, "WHITE HUNTER..." In the lower panel, several figures recoil in terror, screaming "AAAAGHHHHHHHHHH!!!!" with frantic Japanese sound effects "ああああああ".

Explosions and debris fill the air as someone yells, "WHAT'S A SHICHIBUKAI DOING IN A PLACE LIKE THIS!!!" and another screams, "TRAFALGAR LAW!!!!" Marines react in panic: "THAT'S SO CREEPY!!", "THIS GUY'S A MONSTER!!! HE DELIVERED THE HEARTS OF A HUNDRED PIRATES TO MARINE HQ IN EXCHANGE FOR HIS SHICHIBUKAI TITLE!!!", "WE DON'T WANT TO GET INVOLVED WITH THIS GUY!!!", and "WE OUGHTTA LEAVE QUICK, SMOKER-SAN!!" One sweats with "MPHH". Law smirks and says, "THEN I GUESS THAT WOULD INCLUDE YOU, TOO... AM I RIGHTI" Smoker glares with cigars in his mouth and growls, "THIS ISLAND IS OFF-LIMITS TO EVERYONE, FRIEND OF THE GOVERNMENT OR OTHERWISE... LAW."
